The Alley

Loved their brown sugar Deerioca Creme Brulée milk with Boba, my daughter had a strawberry Mochi w boba, and my oldest daughter had the Royal No. 9 Milk Tea w Boba. There was a lot of interesting things to look at while we enjoyed our drinks. Environment was chill and quiet too.

Best flavor teas, I got Thai tea & BrownSugar with regular boba. It was done within 3 minutes of ordering andddd it was packed out 10/10 will definitely be back.

Love this boba shop! The Ube crème brûlée brown sugar boba milk tea (what a mouthful lol) is exquisitely delicious here!!! It’s definitely my favorite drink at this cafe. This, and the new location they opened in Bellaire, have easily become one of my top boba spots in town! Was struggling to find my next boba fix, and hadn’t been able to find a boba shop that can make that specific Ube brown sugar drink ever since my fav boba shop, Yumcha in bellaire, closed last fall;( But was so delighted to find The Alley has it on their menu! So glad I stumbled across this shop when in the area, they make the Ube drink just as good as Yumcha use to make it, possibly even better!🙌 Don’t skip out on this place. For all the boba lovers that are in the same boat, adrift after our favorite bellaire shop went under, look no further than The Alley lol! They’ve got the same chill and welcoming vibe, clean and aesthetic atmosphere, great customer service, and amazing dedication to providing the best experience to their customers. The severs are always so sweet and welcoming. Their drinks always taste amazing and fresh, and they adjust the sweetness to your liking each time. It’s also a great study/wfh spot, WiFi signal is strong, and noise levels are moderate. Def recommend checking this place out!💯🫶

This place is good or whatever.. It’s so, so cute! They have so many unique drinks and flavors. Each are delicious and customizable. I came in with a large family and collectively, we ordered 8 drinks. They came out quickly and neatly. As we ordered, the staff helped answer our very many questions and guided us as we tried to decide what we wanted. They were patient and friendly. The decor inside is also super nice! It makes for cute pictures and it’s very clean. And as a bonus, they have self-serve cups of ice water by the entrance while you wait for your drinks or snacks. It’s also near other Asian places to try out, literally walking distance with much parking. I recommend! My drink was so good! I had the mango coconut milk smoothie or something like that with boba. The toppings paired together were excellent and refreshing especially since it’s so hot in Texas. I suggest getting it if the flavor is something you’re into.

I recently visited a local milk tea shop, and it quickly became one of my new favorites. The shop has a cozy, modern vibe with a friendly atmosphere, making it a great spot to relax or grab a drink on the go. I tried two drinks during my visit: the Assam Milk Tea with boba and the Coffee Milk Tea. The Assam Milk Tea was a standout. The tea had a robust, rich flavor that was both smooth and bold, perfectly complemented by the creamy milk. The boba pearls were chewy and fresh, adding a nice texture to each sip without overpowering the tea's taste. It was the ideal balance of sweetness and tea flavor. The Coffee Milk Tea was a delightful surprise. It had a strong coffee kick but was still creamy and smooth, with just the right amount of sweetness to balance out the bitterness of the coffee. It’s the perfect drink for coffee lovers who want a twist on their usual caffeine fix. The staff was welcoming, and the service was quick, making it easy to grab a delicious drink without a long wait. I’ll definitely be back to try more flavors—this place is a true gem for milk tea enthusiasts!
